The 160 year old American Barn - known as Coombs Hill Barn - imported from the USA and restored and rebuilt on 100 acres of rolling paddocks in Merrijig Victoria was the perfect location for Stephen and Anna's wedding.

The wet weather leading up to and persistent rain on the day of the wedding caused a few headaches for the ceremony location. The original plan was to have the ceremony on the grassed area at the back of the barn overlooking Mt Buller however the paddocks were saturated resulting in mowers being unable to access it without getting bogged. The long grass did however make for some stunning sunset photos (more on that later).

The ceremony was moved a couple of times on the day from the balcony to the grassed area at the front of the Barn.  Fortunately the short break in the rain was long enough to complete the ceremony, a family and bridal party photos before heading indoors. 

So many personal touches to the day - a procession in keeping with Dutch tradition, a wedding box, a sculpture made for the ceremony, acknowledgements of loved ones not able to share their day, guests who had travelled from across the globe, a fingerprint tree painting and a very entertaining ceremony.
